    I’ve never tested this hypothesis, but I would guess that a big-ass battery would remain useful after years of wear while a normal battery would need to be almost constantly plugged in. It’s one thing to plug in a power bank now and then, but if it effectively becomes a wired device that’s too much of a pain.

      I don’t know about all manufacturers but Sony and I think Samsung both allow you to limit max state of charge to 80%, I just hit 3 years on my device consistently using that feature, and haven’t seen much degradation yet.

          Sony’s is more In-Depth, .

          In what manner?

          I know Sony had originally contributed the battery saver to AOSP since that was not standard back then.
